E) Are there things that one can do to make the AI more competitive? (For example, things like: play larger maps, play smaller maps, play with more players, play with fewer players, play with stronger independents, play with weaker independents, etc)

Thanks a lot,

Short answer, Sorry. (gotta go home now...)

First: welcome.
Now:
a) IMO it's pretty darn good
b) that depends on which nation you play, if it fits your style, how many opponents etc. In short :you'll have to find out for yourself.
c)IMO definately (beware of Ermor, as it tends to chew out the other AI's)
d) seems like it (I'm rather new myself)
e) yup you mentioned a few ideas yourself


The AI is competative and better then most fantasy strategy games. The game is so deep that you'll spend a LOT! of time exploring your options/new strategies. If people moan about certain aspects of the AI it is usually about something minor.... .

You'll get other opinions soon. Gotta go.
